blinking notification

Yep, I know it got fixed with 2.7.1 but ... and us users are
always so picky, ya know?
I kinda got used to the new message blinking *not* being in my
face. Pidgin's icon in the system tray blinks when there's a new
message and isn't anywhere near as obnoxious as they minimized window blinking.
My question is ... can the blinking be made as a choice? Blinking in
the system tray, blinking in the minimized window or both?
thanks for considering it.
